We have a saying in the army “There’s only one thief in the army. Everyone else is just trying to get their shit back” so the same can be said for cops

That is very true. You can leave cash out in the PD no one will touch it. Leave a set of cuff out. It's gone. The real smart ones take them home and engrave a call number on them.

Yes, sir you're absolutely correct. Hell, 5 years after wearing that on your hips, you'll definitely feel it. I can remember when we were issued the standard service pistol, speed loaders , hand cuffs, mace, and night stick.. My how times have changed. I'm retired now and working in the private sector. I'm wearing my molle vest with everything. On it, and the only thing on my hip is my service weapon. Stay safe out there !!

I have the Oregon City vest. Very similar. Has a little more molle on the bottom. I was able to move my Flashlight, radio, tourniquet, taser and OC spray off my belt and on to the vest. My hips and back hurt way less now. And the gear is easier to reach. Had to re-train myself on where everything was located though. Lol

Great question, as I just did this. I take the plates out of the vest. I leave any soft molly gear on the vest. I then wash it on the normal cycle. After it's done I put a few new dryer sheets inside the vest where the Kevlar plates go. That way when I get sweaty it smells like fresh laundry instead of crap.

@daviedood2503 2 ай бұрын

Why's it so heavy? Seems like its just filled with sand or something 🤔 Kevlar i think the fabric may be. Why don't cops get level 4 carrier plates? 🤨 U guys are LITERALLY out there with ppl with pistols?? Another question, why aren't your SIDES ever protected? Could easily get injured with something sharp or some guy comes at u from the side with a round? Need something in the back as well. To protect you. There's a new round that's out. Goes over 3,100 FPS will literally destroy. And citizens can buy the rounds. More poweful than a 308 😬 My last suggestion, maybe someone can take my idea and turn themselves into a billionaire.. with the technology we have today, why don't they take s torso casting of the officer, and model a full torso protection? Could pretty much use medium layer of cast iron to fill in and give alot of protection. Theres even shock absorbers to help the officer not get bruised or broken ribs. Can literally use plaster of paris and get the officers torso mold and get to work to make it. Or use size charts S / M / Lg / XL etc. surely by now someone would have thought of full body protection to help guard ur sides. Maybe some stretch kevlar to protect ur neck. I ask, bc I've seen fabric that knives won't work on no matter how sharp it is. Idk if it's lightly ceramic coated or what. Was just a couple ideas I'd toss out. Not sure if some engineers or fabric specialists could do anything with it. Thanks for showing us ur video 🤘🔥

@copgun 2 ай бұрын

Wow, you bring up so many good points. You are protected from the side. The vest overlaps internally. Some cops get shot in the arm pit area which usually proves fatal. The new vests are getting very light and thin. Ammo keeps advancing and getting faster and faster with +p+. The vest will NOT stop anything rifle speed. A cast is a good idea as well. Ceramic is also a great bullet stopper but weighs a bit. I remember working without a vest for many years. But today it's mandatory and a good idea. They also don't protect against a knife. Great comment bro. Thank you

@@copgun - No worries, just checking. I know loadouts and mindsets are all different, but that’s one that I see as pretty important. I’m a civilian, but I carry my own EDC kit as a Plumber because I can go in sketchy areas day and night. They all have plumbing. As a result, I carry a compact stop the bleed kit I assembled with 2 chest seals, 1 SWAT-T (versatile, could be used on a child in a pinch) and compression gauze. It’s all packed flat, wrapped with electrical tape with a pull tab- fits in my cargo pants pocket. Gets crap off my belt line for crawlspaces where I frequently go. Good content. 👍🏻 Suggestion for a video: How to respond to an approaching officer when carrying/conceal carrying. I know it varies by state, but it’s a topic that should probably be covered more for new gun owners that I don’t see posted very often.
